WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

I collect matches because they are each a miniature design of form and function that reminds me of a great memory.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

Favorites are any from Tokyo, where I lived with my family for four years before moving back to the US.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

I keep them in three large glass vessels in the living room. I must have 500. Many NYC restaurants that no longer exist.
